The Witcher 3’s first expansion out October 13

Hearts of Stone contains over 10 hours of new adventures and introduces new characters, powerful monsters, unique romance, and a brand new storyline shaped by gamer choices. The expansion also introduces a brand new system of Runewords that significantly affects gameplay. Each Runeword will impact a different aspect of in-game mechanics and will allow the players to experiment with various strategies and tactics.

While the expansion will be released digitally, CD Projekt RED will be releasing a special, limited boxed edition of the expansion for €19.99, from selected outlets worldwide. The box contains a digital download code for the expansion, two masterfully crafted physical decks of Gwent, the card game set in the world of The Witcher, and a detailed manual explaining the rules.
